Storm to blow away rivals

Storm Over can make a successful trip from Phillip Makin's North Yorkshire yard to Chelmsford for the second time in three weeks when he goes for the Bet totetrifecta At totesport.com Handicap.

The six-year-old justified favouritism in good style when comfortably accounting for Concierge over this six furlongs, on what was his third start after returning from a two-month break.

There was plenty to like about the victory and a 4lb rise is unlikely to get in his way, as he could still be reasonably handicapped being 5lb lower than his career-high mark of 92 last spring.

Rodin can open his account in the Book Online At chelmsfordcityracecourse. com Maiden Stakes at the fourth attempt following a decent effort over this five furlongs on his latest start.

Andrew Balding's son of Mayson stuck to his task well despite going down by threequarters of a length to Endowment.

He has improved from race to race and further natural progression should see him get his head in front.

Lucky's Dream won at the second time of asking at Chelmsford following 140 days off the track and can make a first visit to Newcastle pay dividends in the Betway Handicap.

The Ian Williams-trained gelding had looked unlucky at the Essex course on his return in December and made no mistake when justifying favouritism with a cosy success over Motawaafeq.

The handicapper has had his say, but even so a 5lb rise looks manageable.

Hunters Step struck on his second start since joining Nigel Tinkler's stable over a mile on this course and can double up in the Bombardier Golden Beer Handicap.

The four-year-old looks to have settled in almost straight away for Tinkler, having switched when Noel Wilson retired in November.

After a fair first run at the Gosforth Park track over seven furlongs in December, Hunters Step appreciated the extra furlong when beating Palazzo by a length.

Union looks the one to be on in the Ladbrokes Where The Nation Plays Novice Stakes, judged on his course-and-distance victory a month ago. The three-yearold, trained by Roger Varian, looked to be learning on the job when staying on well to beat Blow Your Horn by a length and three-quarters after a fair debut effort at Kempton

in November. There is likely to be more to come from the New Approach colt. Pacify can get back to winning ways
